Foods that are not safe for rabbits ❌
Rabbits have a unique digestive system which a number of foods can disrupt, but there are also a number of foods that can be harmful or potentially poisonous to them.
Avocado ❌
This is highly toxic to rabbits and many other animals as it contains a toxic compound called persin.
Allium Vegetables ❌
Onions, chives, garlic and leeks are all part of the allium family which are all toxic to rabbits and other animals as they can cause hemolytic anemia.
Chocolate ❌
While chocolate and rabbits may both be associated with Easter, chocolate is poisonous to rabbits and should never be fed to them.
Rhubarb ❌
All parts of the rhubarb plant are toxic to rabbits and the leaves contain high levels of oxalic acid which can cause kidney failure.
Fruit Seeds/Pits ❌
A majority of these contain small amounts of cyanide which is toxic to rabbits, they are also difficult to digest which can cause digestive issues.
Iceberg Lettuce ❌
This contains lactucarium which can be harmful if fed in large quantities. Romaine and other darker, more leafy varieties are safe to feed and are packed with more nutrients too.
Some other foods that should not be fed are: bread, meat, eggs, dairy, processed foods, mushrooms, potatoes, corn or nuts. This is not a full list, but if in doubt with foods to feed, please double check via a reliable source before feeding to your rabbit.
Being prey animals, rabbits can hide any signs of illness, so if your rabbit does accidentally eat something that they shouldn’t (even if they seem completely fine) then please consult with your vet for advice.
